1. Chapter 1

**Hey guys, this is my first fanfic and is set in the pov of Katniss and Peeta's daughter. I'm from the UK and know for a fact that most of you are American. So if you dont understand any phrases or words pm me. Finn swears (just a little warning for younger readers.) Will update everynight if possible. R&R.**

The T.V flickered to life, Broad casting an image of President Paylor across all of Panem.

"Citizens of Panem!" her voice echoing across District Twelve. "I come bearing good news! Over the past few years, I and some select government helpers, have created a new District," _Wait, what? _"A district to nurture and educate the young people of Panem," She carries on. "We will be sending the trains to escort children from the ages twelve to eighteen in three days. Please be ready and seize the opportunity with both hands."

And with that the T.V goes black…

* * *

"Lilac, dear, I'm going to miss you so much," my mother cries, bawling into my dress.

Ever since her sister, Prim, died she's gotten all emotional over everything. I try to comfort her, I really do. But sometimes, I just can't reach her.

I pull away and smile at her. Tears threatening to overflow from my bright lilac eyes.

I get most of my looks from my mum, Katniss. My facial features are almost identical to hers. I alos get my body shape, love of hunting and stubbornness from her too.

I do also have my fair share of my father, Peeta, in me too. Blonde wavy hair that tumbles down to just under my shoulder blades and have a certain knack for painting, just like my father.

My eyes, however, are a cross between my mother's grey eyes and my father's sapphire eyes. Creating a nice lilac colour, Hence my name.

I move onto my father, hugging him tightly to me. He smiles down at me.

"You look gorgeous," He whispers in my ear.

And he's right. Mum dressed me up in a powder blue floral dress with a skinny leather belt around my waist and braided flip flops. She also gave me a leather one-shouldered satchel as a going away present.

I smile and move towards my younger brother Eric. Who's the spitting image of my father.

We don't hug. That's an unspoken rule between me and him. He smiles at me and takes out a box.

"Apparently it's going to be warm," he says. Passing the box to me.

I open up the box to see a pair of mint green sunglasses. "Cheapskate" I mutter.

He chuckles. "Sorry sis. I forgot you only take the best," he says dramatically. I stick my tongue out at him and shove the sunglasses on the top of my head.

"Bye Eric" I say, smiling.

I board the train waving goodbye to my family and start to walk down the train corridor.

I look into a compartment and spot some of my classmates, not really wanting to sit with them, I move on.

Finally I come across a compartment with only two kids sitting in it. I look around and with no other options but going back to my class mates and having to listen to their endless gossip. I stick my head around the door.

"Hey…" I say trailing of.

The two occupants' heads snap up.

"Hiya," a girl with auburn hair and sea green eyes smiles up at me.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" I ask, Gesturing to the empty seat beside her.

"Sure," She smiles. "My names Pearl and this is my twin, Finn" She says pointing across the compartment to a tall, muscled boy with bronze hair and deep sea green eyes.

I smile politely at him. "Lilac," I say sitting down in the seat. "Just a stab in the dark here… Are you from District Four?" I ask, grinning.

"No shit, Sherlock," The boy-Finn-replies, his lips pulled up into a mischievous smile.

"What about you, Lilac?" Pearl asks.

"Twelve." I say without hesitation.

"Really? I didn't know anyone still lived there," She asked.

"Yeah, well there are only a few families that still live there," I explain. "There's my family, the Hawthorne's, Haymitch and a couple of sad old weirdo's that are clinging to the desperate hope that they can 'restore the district." I say. With quotation marks around 'Restore the district'.

"Wait…" Finn starts. "Have I seen you before?" He asks.

Oh great, here comes the lets-all-stare-at-the-Mockingjays-daughter section of the day.

"Yeah probably," I say trying to deflect the subject.

But to no avail.

Pearl leans in and hooks her hair around her ear.

Whilst Finn just sits there before finally saying, "So… You going to tell us already or what?" He says giving me a lopsided grin.

"Yeah, sure," I say. Not being able to hold back the grin playing on my lips. "My mum's kinda Katniss Everdeen." I say hesitantly

They look at me wide eyed, their mouths hanging slightly open.

After around what feels like five minutes I've had enough.

"Close your mouth, guys. You're going to catch flies," I say smirking.

"Sorry," Pearl says. Seeming to get a hold of herself and closing her mouth.

I grin at their discomfort. Which Finn notices and sticks his tongue out playfully. I stick my tongue out back at him

And we continue the train journey like that; Joking, laughing and talking about our familys.


	2. Chapter 2

**So this is finally getting to District 14.**

* * *

As we near the station we start speculating what District Fourteen will be like.

"I bet it'll be like some massive castle," Finn muses.

"No way! It'll be like a village, or something," Pearl argues back.

"How would you know _little_ sis?"

"I'm not little!" Pearl shrieks.

"Are so. I'm older then you," Finn says smirking.

"Only b-"

"Guys shut it! I can see the District!" I shout at them. God, do they ever shut up?

We croud around the window to the side of the compartment and peer out.

They were both wrong. The district seemed to be made of four massive houses, standing in a circle, each with a different tree at the very front. In the centre of the circle stood a, at least four story building, consisting mainly of glass and wood. Leading up to the building are many paths zig-zagging to the houses. Filling in the spaces are lavish lawns and trees of every kind.

We gape silently intil the whistle blows as the train lurches to a stop.

"Come on, I want to go see!" I scream, grabbing Pearls wrist and towing her out of the compartment.

Finn comes running out after us, laughing.

We run of the train hauling our bags behind us.

The sun shines high in the sky and I pull my sunglasses down to cover my eyes. I look around. Though everything seems a little darker than usual, I can still see pretty well.

Standing infront of us is a stern looking woman with greying hair and wrinkles lining her face. She was holding a clipboard and was standing waiting for our attention.

She cleared her throat slightly, "Hello children. There are four houses each named after a particular tree. I will call out the house and then your surname. Families will stay together. You will then make your way over to the house where your house captain will greet you and send you to your dorms."  
"Ok lets get started:

Maple House

Odair" I look over towards Pearl and smile as her and Finn trudge of to the house.

"Montgomory

White..."

I zone out after a while waiting to hear my name. We were still on the Maple house. We had the whole of Panems teenagers to get through.

"Mellark" _Finally. _

The station errupts in to whispers as I pick up my suitcase and walk of in the direction of my new house.

"Lilac!" I hear someone scream.

Im guessing it's Pearl but I'm not too sure.

I turn round to face themand I was right it was Pearl. That's how awesome I am.

"Hey Pearl," I say as she slows down.

"You're in my dorm!" She says gasping for air.

"So you decided to run all the way down from the house screaming like a lunatic?" I ask grinning.

"Yep. I'm special," She says panting slightly.

I laugh.

"Come on then," I say pulling her up from the foor, where she was laying. "To the dorm!" I shout, pointing towards the house.

* * *

Me and Pearl had settled in to the dorm and decided to go on a manhunt for Finn.

"This way!" Pearl shouted, "They said room fifty-two." She shouted already running down the corridor.

"Coming!" I call, muttering obscienities under my breath and taking of after her.

We finally reached the room and stopped to catch our breath.

I slumped against the wall and slowly slid down until I was sitting on the cold tiled floor. Pearl lumed down next to me her head tilted back aginst the wall.

Hearing footsteps nearing, I looked up.

There infront of me was a (me being every judging) Blonde bimbo, whose face is caked in make-up and had a disgusted look on her face.

"Lily," Pearl said nodding stiffly to her.

"What are you doing on the floor?" She asked with an air of one who thought themselves better than everyone else.

"Talking to you," I retaliated. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

"Oh, another one who thinks they can have Finn? How sad." She says. God I hate her, "Well you cant get him he's mine," She growled the last part and sauntered away, leaving me flabbergasted.

"Wha-Why-Who?" I stutter out.

"That's Lily" she say with poorly veiled disgust. "She thinks she's dating Finn but he hates her. She's just to stupid to notice. I dont think she likes you," _Well, no._

I collapse against the wall again.

Well this is great. First day of new school and I've already got a enemy.

* * *

**Ooooo, whats going to happen next? Please R&R**


	3. Chapter 3

**Please check out a story called Inevitable Fate by Smileykat17 about Haymitches long lost daughter which has no where near as much credit as it deserves!**

* * *

The door opens behind me.

I turn round to face a confused looking Finn staring down at us.

"Hey guys...care to explain?" He asks curiously.

Pearl stands up, dusting herself off.

"Lily," She says simply, before brushing past him and through in to his dorm.

Finn just raises an eyebrow at me before following her, me close behind.

I enter the room, which, is not that different from me and Pearls.

The room has a large window on the right hand side, showing the veiw from the second story. Three beds were strewn across the room decorated with plain blue sheets. Each, with an occupant looking up curiously at us.

"Oh, right," Finn starts. "Guys this is Pearl and Lilac," Hea says pointing to each of us in turn.

Me and Lilac flop down on Finn's bed and nod to the two boys.

"Dylan," a muscled guy said nodding his head at us. I guess he was cute. With his blonde hair that he swept to the side, out of his piercing blue eyes.

I nod my head towards him, smiling.

"Raven," a boy with black hair and green eyes says, smiling at us.

"So," Finn started, "What where you saying about Lily?" he said, looking at Pearl.

"Well..." Pearl said standing up. "She came up to us in the hallway..."

Pearl then proceeded to act out what happened, much to me, Raven, Dylan and Finn's amusement.

When we had finally stopped laughing at Pearl. Finn just said, "Yep, she's a bit crazy. She once asked me to a school dance. I said no, of course and she went round telling the whole school I was going with her," he said smirking and shaking his head.

"Who else is in your dorm?" Raven asks changing the topic.

"Um... I'm not too sure to be honest, do you know Pearl?" I say turning to face her.

"No. Remember, I came running like a madman towards you as soon as I heard your name?" She says before catching my eye, and erupting in to laughter.

* * *

We spent all day in Finns dorm laughing with the boys about random things, like, how much gold there would be at the end of a rainbow? and how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Me and Pearl walked towards our dorm laughing and talking about how we had to go to the swimming pool located on the grounds.

We opened the door to our room only to be met by a big surprise.

There, sitting in front of us, on Pearls bed, was our new roomate. And she was all too familiar.

"Hey guys!" her annoying, high pitched voice echoed round the room and I could see in my peripherals Pearl lean back at the sound. "I'm your new roomate!"

_Oh joy._

"Hey..." my voice trails of feebly.

She smiles at me showing all of her tipex teeth in what she must believe is a friendly gesture.

"I think we may have gotten of on the wrong foot," She begins.

Me and Pearl just stand there speechless.

"But since we're going to be roomates... I guess we should at least try to be friends..." This time she is the one to trail of.

"Sure," I say. Why create enemies if they are wishing to forgive and forget?

"Just one thing," she says sweeping Pearls stuff of the bed and onto the floor in one fluid movement, before turning round to face us. "If _you_ go anywhere near my boyfriend, I will not hesitate to rip that pretty, little head off that pretty, little neck," She says sneering.

"_Your_ boyfriend?" Pearl starts. "Lily, he's not your boyfriend! He never has been and he never will be!"

Yep, that's right it's Lily (If you hadn't guessed already).

"Ah, Pearly, darling that's where you're wrong. You see, By the end of the term Finny will be mine and if _you"_ she says jabbing a perfectly manicured finger in to my chest. "or any of your little friends stand in my way you will be gone." She says smirking before wobbling out the door on her too high heels.

"What... Just happened?" Pearl asked still frozen in the same posistion as we had taken when we first saw Lily.

"I'm...not sure," I reply.

And seriously I wasn't. From what I had caught I would be having to stay in the same room as someone who had threatened to kill me, and was not allowed to talk to one of the only friends I had made here. Great.

"Well, I'm not going to listen to her," Pearl starts, before pushing Lily's stuff off the bed and throwing all her own stuff back on, before turning to me. "And you shouldn't either..."

* * *

**_Ohhhh... whats going to happen? Sorry really short update, get over it! Also School holidays have finished so I wont be able to keep up with the update a day gig. Buuut I will say that I will definatley be in less then a week._**

**_Oh, and please check out a story called Inevitable Fate about Haymitches long lost daughter by smileykat17 which I have already mentioned at the top but I couldn't help it!_**


	4. Chapter 4

**My head teacher is actually called this and when we first came to secondary there was a rumour going round her first name was Iona :P Anyway sorry for not updating. Please R&R and enjoy.**

* * *

Pearl's statement scared me last night. No good is going to come of this.

When Lily walked into the room last night and saw Pearl laying in her bed, listening to her ipod, she through a hissy fit and trashed the room before storming out.

I was nervous to say the least. Apparently, a year ago some girl called Marina was dating Finn for a while before she suddenly dissapeared. I know what your thinking; Lily wouldn't kill Marina and you would be right. She's now living in District Fourteen after moving from Four to Eight, and Pearl is convinced it was Lily's fault.

And that's the topic of conversation we were on at the moment.

"So, do you believe me?" Pearl asks confidently.

"Do I believe Lily would go so far as to blackmail someone to leave the district they were born in, and brought up in? I don't think so." I tell her.

"Oh, come on! You saw her last night she almost tried to kill me when she saw me in the bed and she's not even come back yet! Face it she's a spoilt brat!"

"Whom's a spoilt brat?" asks a voice.

We turn to face Finn, who was looking at us curiously

"Lily," Pearl says, simply.

"You know you always think that covers everything," I start. "But really it explains not-"

"Whatever!" Pearl interupts. "It's not like that matters and it explains _everything"_

Finn just stands amused by the door, taking in the scene.

"Ladies, Ladies," He starts before me and Pearl simultaneously glare at him.

"Okay, okay." He says his hands up in mock surrender. "Now can you stop bitching about stuff we're meant to be at the hall in an hour- And no, I don't know what it's about." He says before walking from the room.

Me and Pearl turn to each other and roll our eyes.

"C'mon," Pearl says grabbing my wrist. "You look like shit." She says.

"Charming..." I mumble.

"Oh, shut up." She replies, before flipping through my closet.

Me and Pearl are making our way down to the hall. Well, we _think_ we are... we have no idea which direction the hall is in and we are now just wandering around aimlessly trying to find it.

"Hey, Finn!" Pearl shouts barreling down the corridor, towards a group of boys at the end.

I jog after her, not bothering to even try to keep up in the short denim shorts Pearl put me in. Though, thinking about it, Pearl was wearing six-inch heels-six inches higher then my own- and a short skirt that kept riding up and she was able to _run._

I guess I was just lucky I wasn't her size and I refused to wear any of my own dresses. So, instead she just dressed me in short frayed denim shorts with a gray hoodie on top. My kind of style.

When I reached the end I recognised the two guys as Raven and Dylan, Finn's roomates, looking me up and down appreciately.

Pearl was slumped against the wall gasping for breath.

"Care to explain?" Finn asked amused.

"Nah," I said teasing him.

He fake scowled at me which I replied to by sticking out my tongue.

"Where...is the...hall?" Pearl wheezed.

Finn laughed. "It's down this corridor," he says gesturing to his right.

"Told you!" shouted Pearl, after regaining her breath.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did three!"

Me and Pearl stood standing infront of each other, turning our heads simultaneously towards the speaker.

Now I think about it that might have been a bit scary. Never mind.

Anyway where was I? Oh, yes.

We turned our heads to face a grinning Raven staring back at us. "What? I felt left out!"

I smile back laughing. "Come on, Pearl," I say linking my arm through her and walking in the direction Finn pointed to us.

* * *

We sat in the assembly hall waiting for it to start.

Pearl was sitting on my right and Finn on my left with Raven infront of him and Dylan infront of me.

They had turned round in their seats to talk to us when the doors were flung open.

In walked our new headteacher. She was tall, thin and greying and i'm going to go out on a limb here and say I'm not going to like her.

"Hello, I'm your new teacher, Ms Dick." She begins before she is interupted by sniggers erupting all around the hall.

Me and Pearl burst into a fit of silent giggles and Finn and Raven were biting back laughter. Dylan just gave a quick snort. He mus be a little bit mature unlike _moi!_

Meanwhile, Ms Dick was glaring at all of the children as if they each personally offended her-which they did. Her eyes finally settled on me, Pearl and Finn sitting on the wooden chairs at the back. She gasped slightly, before regaining her composure. She probably wasn't used to seeing three of the most well know rebels kids sitting at the back of her hall.

Some people had noticed her look of incredulity on her face before she could wipe it of her face and had turned round to scan the back of her room. Their eyes finally resting on us.

We had finally managed to contain our giggles and we now had at least hundreds of eyes on us.

The room was silent. So silent it was loud, deafening even.

I could feel the discomfort rolling off of Pearl and Finn as suddenly the room erupted into whispers and mutterings catching like wildfire in the wind.

My cheeks were getting steadily redder and redder and I was almost relieved when Ms Dick decided to carry on with her sppech and ignore us. _Amost._

She drones on and I slump back in my seat still aware of the glanced of the rest of the school. Ms Dick's words seemed to have run together and become an emotionless blur of quotes, phrases and cliches.

I sigh inwardly, hating my life. I want to doze of right here, right now. But with the whole school sending glances my way at sometime or another, I take to staring at the ceiling and finding patterns.

Pearl elbows me in the ribs.

"Ow," I mutter. More glances.

She gestures to the stage. Where adults are making there way out. I guess they're introducing the teachers. Why would I care about that?

I look at her questioningly and she gestures to the front again.

Mystified, I look at each of the adults in turn. I know some of them; Cinna (mums old stylist), Gale Hawthorne (one of the only people left in 12), and many others. But I still hadn't seen what was so important that Pearl thought she should awaken me from my day-slumber (daydream is waaay to over used)

I look back to her raising an eyebrow. She just shakes her head slightly and goes back to watching the assembly. I stare at her for a second before shaking my head slightly and going back to staring at the ceiling.

* * *

We finally get out the hall and start walking to our dorms.

We were the already the topic of the school. Words were floating around the school "Rebel," "Mellark," and "Odair" and to be perfectly honest it was getting slighlty boring. When we finally reached a corridor with no whisperings. I let out a sigh of relief.

Pearl and Finn were exchanging glances behind my back. Obviously thinking I couldn't see them.

We rounded the corridor towards our room only having to lean back at the noise coming from me and Pearls dorm.

"Lily," Pearl groans.

"Hey, Finn." She starts turning towards him. "Can we crash at your place? I dont think I can stand another one of Lily's _legendary _party," She says groaning.

"Yeah, please..." I say, looking up at him with puppy eyes.

He looks down at us considering the options before he groans slightly. "I guess I'll be sleeping on the floor then..." he mumbles.


	5. Chapter 5

**Filler sorry :/**

My eyes flutter open. I look around the room. I am lying on the floor of Finn's dorm a blanket strewn on top of me.

I groan slightly and push myself of the cold, polished floor. I stretch and wipe the sleep from my eyes. When I open my eyes again I see Finn sitting on the edge of his bed looking sleep deprived.

"Morning," He says nodding to me.

"Yeah," I reply. Wow. What a reply.

He seems to think this too because he grins cockily at me. Yes, you heard right even though it looks like he only had half an hour of sleep he can still be annoying cocky.

"You look like shit," He says crinkling his nose at me.

"Right back at ya, mate." I joke.

He rolls his eyes and stomps through to the bathroom.

"Ok, you might be right," His voice drifts through the open door to me.

"Of course I am. I always win," He shout. I had started to regain conciousness and was hell bent on annoying people.

Today feels like an annoying day. You know you have certain moments when you wake up, were you think to yourself; what am I doing with my life? On those days you have three options:

1. Be inspired, go out and make a difference with your life.

2. Disregard no 1 and just feel inspired but too lazy to do anything about it. So you spend your whole day wallowing in self-pity.

3. Make everyone elses life hell to distract you from the fact that you are a complete wreck and you are doing nothing and going nowhere in life. I call this The Haymitch.

Now if you do manage to dodge two and three then there is only one option left; One. You then proceed to eat breakfast, inspired. Get dressed, inspired. Brush your teeth, inspired. Only to remember that it's school today and that your education is important for your _'inspiring' _life ahead and forget about by the next day and thus the cycle continues.

I join Finn in the bathroom (not what is sounds like, pervs.)

See?! No 3 already setting in!

I examine myself in the mirror.

Finn was right, I do look like shit... Oh, no number two happy thoughts! Happy thoughts! Crap! It's not working. Quick Lilac say something.

"Hey Finn ever thought of killing someone?" Oh, no that was not meant to slip out! Stupid brain! Do what I want for once!

Finn looks at me weirdly before bursting into laughter.

Ok, I just asked him a question that for most people would mean serial killer alert would be on max. And he's just laughing on the floor... _Boys_

"Willl you guys shut up?" Pearl says bursting through the door. "I need my beauty sleep!"

"Hey, you got my bed! What else do you want?" Shouts an indignant Finn.

I sigh before turning back to face the mirror and splashing myself with cold water. They were still bickering in the background as I dried my face with a towel.

None of our stuff was here. When we came here to escape Lily's party, we couldn't risk going in to get our stuff. You know all for one and one for all kind of crap.

I groan knowing I will have to go back to the remains of my dorm sooner or later.

The worst thing is I escaped here to sleep yet I ended up on the floor with one blanket. One measly blanket. As if that wasn't bad enough the sounds of the party echoed through the House and no-one could sleep. After time the noise grew. I suppose some people thought if you cant beat them, join them.

God, I better even the people in _Elm _(the furthest away house from Maple heard us).

"Well, I'm going back to see whats left of the apartment." I state, coming out of my little tangent.

"I'll join you." Pearl says following me.

"Bye Finn!" I call out over my shoulder.

...

When we finally reach our dorm evidence of last night is strewn across the walls and floors in the surrounding corridors and it looks like the door has come of it's hinges.

I lightly push it open and gasp. All around are empty bottles, teens passed out and shreds of our clothes in a pile in the centre of the room. I knew I should have put a lock on my closet! Not only that but some people seemed to have got attached to my clothes and decided to walk-no stagger- of with them.

Whilst I was more concerned by the most permenat damage (the door, the couch which had been clawed apart by the looks of it and the walls were they obviously decided it was a good idea to paint a darts board on and throw knives at it.) Pearl was more concerned on the clothes in the middle of the room. She was kneeling infront of it crying. Like seriously crying.

Already I could feel today slipping into a two just skipping the 'inspired' moment.

...

Me and Pearl had decided that we would have to be the ones to clean up the party as Lily obviously wasn't going to and neither of us wanted to live in a pigs stye.

Right now we were out buying cleaning products, a new couch and we decided to spice it up a bit by changing our dorm a little.

So far in the ast category we had picked out new bedsheets, and electric blue fairy lights, we also got the couch to match and a zebra throw to gover the top. Right now we were throwing all different types of pens into the trolley and some paint as I promised to essentialy draw on the walls patterns-well more like a pattern as it was not going to repeat itself- and write our names over our beds in cursive print. We decided to paint the walls with another lick of paint first and the use the pens to draw on it as at the moment I couldn't be bothered to paint.

...

We got back to the apartment and saw it pretty much the same except Lily was now sleeping in her own bed and all of the other people seemed to have managed to crawl out of the dorm nusing a massive hang-over.

We set to work cleaning, replacing and decorating our apartment. By the end the only thing out of place was the door but that just let passer-bys see our amazing dorm.

I had drawn on the walls in mostly blue, white, yellow, green and black. We also hung the fairy light over our beds which had awesome covers; almost like someone had spray-painted on them. They fit the rest of the room which, was now scattered with neon beanbags and pillows and above our beds my favourite part of the room; our names, proving this room was ours. I even wrote Lily's though Pearl wasn't pleased she was part of the dorm.

...

"Knock, knock," A voice came from the door. "Wow." He said awestruck.

"Yeah it's amazing isn't it!" Pearl squealed excitedly to Finn. I however had gone through this in my head twice already (as ya know) and I think it would get a little boring if I went through again. Instead I just flopped back on my bed and closed my eyes...

_Only to be hit in the head with a pillow. Pearl..._

**Authors note**

**I'm sorry for the long wait and I feel even worse that you're probably going to have to wait a lot longer. I'm just not feeling this story anymore-lamest excuse ever- and I am putting this story up for adoption. I might consider taking this story back on later so don't give up on me just yet. **

**On a happier note, I am thinking of starting a George Weasley/OC fanfic and am actually going to plan it out and write three chapters ahead to be on the safe side. Also there will hopefully be a _lot_of over shadowing and I will delve deeper into the characterisation of my... well, characters. Please stay on the lookout for those and don't give up on me just yet.**
